Moving into Product — Career Guidance with Sugam Bagla

Are you an experienced engineer, program/project manager, quality engineer, business analyst, data professional or technology leader considering a move into Product?

I made that transition myself — from engineering through program leadership into Product Management and eventually senior product leadership — so I understand that the hardest part is often not learning another PM framework. It is figuring out how your existing experience translates into Product and what you need to change.

In this 1:1 conversation, we can work through questions such as:

• Is Product the right next move for me?

• How do I reposition my existing experience for Product roles?

• What gaps do I genuinely need to close?

• What level and type of Product role should I target?

• How should I approach the transition without starting my career over?

Bring your context and the decision you're working through. My aim is for you to leave with a clearer perspective and practical next steps — not generic career advice.
